The Life We’ve Built – Gabriela & Antonio’s Maui Wedding Photography
Maui wedding photography has a way of turning meaningful memories into lifelong magic. And for Gabriela and Antonio, it felt like coming full circle. Their love story began years ago in high school, growing quietly through friendship before turning into something more in 2018. Seven years together later, they found themselves back on the island that already held a special place in their hearts, ready to say I do in the most intentional, beautiful way.
In December 2019, Gabriela and Antonio visited Maui to celebrate their first anniversary and had the most incredible time. They often found themselves reminiscing about that trip, recalling the warmth, the ease, and the way everything felt lighter together. So when they decided on a smaller, intimate ceremony, Maui felt like the perfect place to create new memories while honoring old ones. Their celebration at Royal Lahaina Resort was everything they hoped for, with ocean breezes, soft light, and a relaxed, joyful atmosphere that made every moment feel effortless! We are honored to share some favorite moments from their big day below!
Surrounded by friends and family, they celebrated not only their marriage but also the life they had built together. Gabriela, a registered nurse working on a postpartum unit, radiated calm joy, while Antonio, who works in construction management, brought his steady, grounding presence. Their adorable son was just one day away from turning one, making the day even sweeter! And their love extended to the family they’ve created together, including two beloved dogs.
Their newlywed portraits were a true reflection of why Maui wedding photography is so special: romantic moments, quiet glances, and that unmistakable ‘just-married’ glow, framed by Maui’s golden light. There are so many beautiful locations for newlywed portraits around the grounds of Royal Lahaina Resort, from the lush greenery to the beach out front! These two just looked so happy and truly lit up our lens with love and joy.
It was a day filled with connection, celebration, and heart. Congratulations to Gabriela and Antonio on a wedding they’ll cherish forever!

Some trips are about adventure. Others are about slowing down long enough to really be present.
